As we begin the summer season, we look back at our past program year in gratitude and forward with an eye to the future, learning from our experience. What is the “something new” that God will inspire? We are open, listening and ready!Ignatian Currents Program. On May 30th and 31st, 80 people gathered to share community and experience the deft leadership of Howard Gray, SJ who led a program entitled “Searching for God through Imagination and Story: Living Out the Ignatian Tradition.” One participant reflected, “I came away with more than I anticipated – a renewed spirit, a sense of God in my life and food for thought as I continue to reflect on God’s revelation in my life. Thank you!”
| The Praying with St. Ignatius Retreat. Members of the St. Basil the Great retreat team will gather for a Ministry Reflection Evening on Tuesday, June 10th. We will take time to prayerfully reflect on inspiring moments that occurred during the retreat as well as those challenging times from which new insights will be taken. Margaret Balewski, Martha Campbell, Joan Carney and Jean Sullivan will form the retreat handbook revision committee. Feedback from the 24 leaders who served as retreat team members during this past year will be included in the revision process. |
The Pilgrim Way of Ignatius Loyola. 40+ Members of St. Angela Merici Parish, Fairview Park, gathered to pray and to hear the witness of Valerie Stultz who addressed the question, “How Can I Love As God Loves?” “Thank you for opening my heart to an even deeper desire to grow in my love for God. I am truly interested in the 8 week [Praying with St. Ignatius] retreat.” At the conclusion of this 4-part series, this representative reflection from a program participant says it all! God has blessed us!
| Nurturing the Call. 8 participants completed the pilot program, Leading Contemplative Group Retreats, designed to support individuals called to this leadership. This program, facilitated by Martha Campbell and Joan Nuth, empowered the participants to design and develop retreats based in the Spiritual Exercises. Watch for their retreats in the upcoming fall retreat schedule at Jesuit Retreat House! The program will be repeated this coming program year.Click below for a complete copy of the June Newsletter including upcoming programs2014 June Newsletter |
